Milenda linen dress

This is a loose fitting summer dress with pleat details front and back providing shaping to the bodice. I cut the pattern exactly to my measurements and found the shoulders to be very wide so I took 2.5 cm off each side which has resulted in a really good fit. (I note several other makers have found the shoulders wide too so measure carefully) The instructions are excellent , clearly worded with very good photo illustrations. I used an inky blue pure mid weight linen from Etsy shop Linengraphy.
